HER FAIR FALSE HAIR.
This Depressing Reaction Caused by q J
Backgrounds Discovery.

backgrounds Discovery.
St. Louis Sunday Sayings.
George Owings was married Tuesday
evening to Minnie Rollers. The honey
moon did not last one whole day.
Wednesday George left his bride. He at
first declined to give any explanation Of
his conduct, but on his wife's parents de-
handing an explanation George declared
that he had been greatly deceived by
Minnie.
When the couple were reveling in the
blissful days of courtship, George was a
great admirer of Minnie's yellow hair and
beautiful pearly teeth. He thought it
strange, however, that she would not
permit him TO toy with her golden locks
as most sWeethearts let their accepted
lovers do. But then Minnie was such 8
neat, particular girl that perhaps it was
natural for her to declare that she would
not let George dIssrrange her hair.
On the evening of her marriage her
hair looked Iovelier than ever, and her
teeth shone with dazzling whiteness.
Poor George, however, was doomed to
shocking disappointment. When the
happy couple were alone in their bridal
chamber George was Mortified to behold
the bride, amid the other mysteries of her
toilet, remove her golden hair and take
out her beautiful teeth. She wore a wig,
and there were not dozen hairs on her
head. A scalp disease in early childhood
had bereft her OF all her hair, and it never
grew again.
The young husband sat traRsfxed with
horror. He himself tells how she tried
to comfort him by declaring that her love
for him had prevented her telling him
that she wore wig and false teeth. So
changed were her looks, however, that
her husband told her then and there that
the deception she had practiCed upon
him demanded a separation.
The enraged and disappointed husband
has told the story sill around, and the IN
fortunate woman by deceiviug her lover
has published the secret of her false
beauty to the world.

SAN ANTONIO, TIKI, March 3I.-At q
meeting Of the West Texas Medical Asso-
citation lGst night the application of G. j.
StaTnes, acOIored physician, for member
ship, was rejected on Z vote of
twelve to forty-four. The association
had nothing against the COloTed mans
standing as a doctor, he being graduate
Of i recognized college, nor against his
standing in the community as a modest,
unassuming gentleman during mis- two
years residence in San Antonio. The great
reason urged for the action If the ma
iOTity was that the cOlOTGd member might
POSSIBLY want u sit with the white mem
OeTs in the annual banquet. DR.. Watts,
one OF the foremost members and one
who voted in the minority, said he was
not q niger lover nor believer ia social
intercourse, but he declared that he would
much rather associate with the COlOTed
doctor than some Of the white
members of theiassociation. The affair is
receiving a good deal OF discussion TO-
day, much of which is unfayorabIe to the
association. Some urge that as the 1850
citation is operating under state laws
which do not exclude cOIored physicians
from membership when they have the re
CURED qualifications, as in this case, Ian
action for damages could be brought
against the association.
